TMZ.com is reporting that long time CEO of the CBS Network, Les Moonves, is resigning amidst a total of 12 women accusing him of sexual misconduct.

Early this summer, 6 different women accused Moonves of some sort of sexual misconduct, from forced oral sex to using intimidation to get sexual favors.

Moonves denies these allegations.

According to the report, Moonves is negotiating a severance package worth close to $100 Million dollars (yikes!). However, that severance will not be paid out until a full internal investigation is done on CBS’ behalf.

CBS has also committed $20 Million to the #MeToo movement.

Moonves has released a statement:

“Untrue allegations from decades ago are now being made against me that are not consistent with who I am. Effective immediately I will no longer be Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CBS. I am deeply saddened to be leaving the company. I wish nothing but the best for the organization, the newly comprised board of directors and all of its employees.”

There is a major shakeup happening at CBS as many of their Board of Directors have stepped down. Viacom has also suspended it’s pending merger with CBS until at least 2 years after the settlement is finalized between Moonves and CBS.

It’s important to note that many of these allegations are over 20 years old.

Commentary: I am curious as to who CBS will have take on the role of Chief Executive. My money is that a woman will end up taking that role in hopes that they are able to showcase the pendulum swinging toward female leadership.

An interesting note that CBS has committed $20 Million to the Me Too movement. I find it a cheap (yet expensive) attempt at trying to make themselves look less evil and complicit.

It’s sick thinking that Moonves could potentially walk away with $80 Million if these allegations are true.

CBS has created a real life Candy Crush game show. The show set to premier on July 9, 2017, will be hosted by Mario Lopez. Contestants from CBS’ other reality shows competing in the premiere: Survivor‘s Kelley Wentworth, Joe Anglim, Woo Hwang and Jeremy Collins, and Big Brother‘s Paul Abrahamian, Da’Vonne Rogers, Frankie Grande and Caleb Reynolds.

From what we can tell, the game show is much more difficult than the original game. Teams of two have to help one another out by scaling a huge video wall and playing the game. The grand prize is $100,000.

After watching the preview, what do you think your strategy is to win the game?

CBS has canceled two of its comedies. 2 Broke Girls was canceled even with decent ratings.

“2 Broke Girls was a really good show for us for a very long time,” CBS head of scheduling Kelly Kahl told Deadline. “Our comedy development this year was very good and whenever your comedy development is really good, it puts a lot of pressure on some of your older shows. We felt creatively it was time and we had to create some space on the schedule to get some new product on.”

According to Deadline, CBS’ decision to cancel the show was more than just “creative” as the show is expensive to produce and the Network also wanted a piece of the show’s royalties from syndication. It’s reported that the studio (Warner Brothers) makes $1.7 Million an episode from TBS alone.

The network also canceled Matthew Perry and Thomas Lennon’s The Odd Couple. Perry’s show was still getting close to 5 million total views and was actually really entertaining. Perry found out about the cancellation when he arrived at the studio and his face was painted over.

My face on the Odd Couple stage door has been painted over with green paint.I think it's safe to assume that we have been cancelled.#subtle
